I have the following problem: when I start my laptop I get the following message:

Problem reading disk c or:

By the first message, the laptop is still, and the second message repeated again and again.

help please.

First of all, you should check if the HARD drive has been recognized in the BIOS.
To access the BIOS, you will need to click on the "F2" because this laptop seems to use Phoenix BIOS.
Check the HARD drive was chosen first in the boot order.

To test a HARD drive, you could also remove it and he could connect as an external USB for a second PC.

But I see you n t have much experience with these procedures, and therefore, it would be advisable to ask a technician for assistance.

  • Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

    Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

    I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

    However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

    However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

    It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

    Thank you very much

    > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

    In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
    A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
    After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

    To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
    OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.

  • Satellite A30-203 does not start

    Hello

    Try this:
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter from the laptop and wait a little bit more about 1 hour.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    If that does not help then I guess that a hardware problem serious cause this and you need someone who could check all parts laptop such as RAM, CPU or the motherboard.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MO wouldn't start

    Bought a new A300-1 MB a few months ago and did not have the restore DVD.

    I installed updates for vista. The laptop was not plugged and it came down to halfway.
    Then, I try to use the option 'repair your computer' to try recovery hard drive and nothing does... white screen...

    What should I do now?
    Is there a way I can recover my laptop without having to buy a recovery CD/DVD?

    The only way of recovering your laptop without the DVD is to start the HDD recovery procedure.
    As a first step, we need to know if you can start your laptop properly.

    Connect it to the power supply and run it.
    You can enter the BIOS settings?

    Hello!

    To message PXE, you can consult this document:

    I think that your HARD drive or disc HARD controller of the motherboard is faulty, but I don't know m.
    Have you checked the HARD drive with a special tool for this? The Drive Fitness Test can check the HARD drive for bad sectors or something else:

  • Satellite A30: system32\config\system error message

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and when I start it it displays the system32\config\system error message

    He also says I can try to repair it by starting the original windows using the installation CD installation program.

    Problem is that I don't have any CD or recovery discs that I bought the laptop on ebay 2 years ago

    While the options of do I have that I don't really want to spend the money, put it in repair... the credit crunch and all that!

    Thank you

    Hello

    Hmm I doubt that you can solve this problem without going through any system windows disk or recovery disk.
    It seems that the installed OS is messed up and you last chance would be a new installation of the OS on the MS Windows CD or Toshiba recovery disc.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30 - system shutdown

    Hello

    My system is Satellite A30 - 614 P4 3.06 GHz/XP HE/512 MB / 60 GB/15TFT/DVD-R/RW/LAN. Sometimes it automatically. Base of the notebook becomes too warm. Please suggest me a solution.

    Please send me a message [email protected]

    Hello

    For me, it looks like overheating and not as a software problem!
    Usually, all Toshiba laptops support an overheating protection. This feature stops the laptop automatically to avoid material damage!

    I think that don t cooling modules work correctly and therefore the temperature rises to a higher level. Especially the dust blocks the cooling fans!

    So, in my opinion, you should try to clean the fans.
    Vacuuming can help! But be careful! The strong suction can damage the fan!

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

    This suggests that memory is faulty, as bought crucial memory must be compatible with my laptop?

    Thanks for your time,

    You have this problem if you use modules or only the new module?

    If you only use the new module, the case is clear. The new module is defective or is not compatible with the laptop.
    I think you should get back on the computer dealer and request a new. Maybe you can get a Kingston module because I have only good experience with this production.

    If you use both modules, they are not compatible. You should only use the modules with the same specifications.

  • Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

    Hi all

    My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

    I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

    I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

    Kind regards
    Nova

    Hello

    Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

    If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
    Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

  • Satellite A30 was the subject of a cutting and does not start again

    Hello

    In the past two months my Satellite phone has been 'cut' operating environment. It seemed to me that the cooling fans were constantly running at high speed and the air coming out of the (output) rear was warmer then normal.

    I visually inspected the ports of entry at the bottom of the envelope and they do not appear to be blocked by dust or whatever it is. Yesterday, during 'Disc clean-up', he cuts and just wouldn't start again.

    When I try to start the system, the following events happen: first, the "Toshiba" appears as always and then after a few seconds it replaces the logo 'loads Windows' as usual. Then after a few seconds it makes a funny 'click' sound, a blue screen appears for a split second and the system stops again.

    My initial problem could have a overheating? If something has been permanently damaged now?

    I would appreciate any input!

    Hello

    First of all, please give us more details about your model of laptop. It is always important.

    > After a few seconds, he made a funny sound "click", a blue screen appears for a split second
    Looks like a malfunction of the drive HARD and do not overheating what do you think?

    Have you tried to format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the OS from the restore CD? In my eyes, you should first check this possibility.

    But as you probably know nothing is impossible in the word computer laptop and wide. ;) then maybe it s overheating in such a case, the laptop must be professionally checked by a qualified technician.

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

    After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

    Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

    The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

    Hello

    Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.
